Excerpt from J. Wilbur Chapman: A Biography For more than a quarter of a century Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman was a potent presence and a formative force in the councils and activities of the evangelical church. He was conspicuous, not as one who sought preferment or place, but as one who, "for Christ's sake and the Gospel's," gave himself to the service of his fellowmen. He was great among us in that he was the servant of all. Though he was unique there was no singularity in his person or his ministry. He had no eccentricities of manner or of speech, nor did he need such aids. He was heard, and heard gladly, in all parts of the world because of an undertone of reality, a ring of certainty, a note of conviction: all of which were constant in his personality and directed his simple yet cogent and sinewy speech. Throughout his ministry Dr. Chapman maintained a high conception of his office. This he magnified and was himself thereby enlarged. A man among men, he was genial, jovial, ready of wit; yet ever and everywhere a minister of Jesus Christ. Although clericalism was to him an abomination he was always the clergyman. As an ambassador of Christ he was loyal to the commission and the message he received. He faithfully delivered his message, and his ministry was therefore effective and fruitful.
